Dutch sailors fishing and building boats, 1598.

MAURITIUS - JULY 15: Facsilmile made c 1848 of a drawing showing Admiral Jacob Cornelissoon van Neck�s (c 1564-1638) expedition which landed on Mauritius in 1598. The dodo (possibly from the Dutch 'dodoor' meaning sluggard) and solitaire were hunted to extinction by Europeans and the domestic pets they introduced. These flightless birds were related to the pigeon and were native to Mauritius and islands to the east of Madagascar. The common dodo (Raphus cucullatus or Didus ineptus) became extinct from Mauritius c 1665-1670; the Rodriguez solitaire (Pezophaps solitaria) became extinct c 1761; and the Reunion solitaire (Ornithaptera solitaria) became extinct c 1715-1720.
